If you had GBP 2000 to spend on a guitar what would you buy?

[Gooby]

For the 2K mark I would be looking to get one built, therefore have maximum input into its birth.
Although lead times beyond a year are no fun I'm getting old :)
However  I agree the Suhr's do look very tempting.

Also a Gibson 335 with a set of BN's would have to be considered. So when do i receive the 2K ?  :D

Either go custom,

Or a Vigier Excalibur Shawn Lane Master http://www.vigierguitars.com/page/fiche_produit.php?id_prod=233 and fit it with some BKPs.

I'd get a Gibson R7 Historic Gold top then proceed to fit a set of mules! I'd be done then.

[dave_mc]

i'd probably get a custom legra/feline/wezv etc.

if it has to be off-the-shelf, i'd probably get a tyler/vigier/huber etc.

[BigK]

Either A PRS Tremonti Trem or 513,

A Gibson Silverburst LP Custom

Or A feline Custom

I'm looking for a guitar which is versatile, 2 humbuckers (i don't mind if there is a single coil in the middle), and is suited for anything but metal (Blues, Funk, Jazz Fusion etc.)...

I'd buy an ES-335, it'll do all that AND more.  Put some Stormy Mondays or Mules in it then sit back and admire a tonal gem.

[Johnny Mac]

I'd go for a 335 or a Lowden Acoustic

I think I'd go for a 339 and a nice acoustic-talking of which, I went with a mate yesterday to Andertons to look at acoustics-he was going to spend up to £400.00 as he wanted a good guitar to practice on.He ended up with a Taylor Big Baby. Fantastic guitar for the money. I think I'd get one if I had change from the 339.

[headtheball]

True that. I was picking an acoustic guitar for my brother last year, and the Big Baby came out top in the bang/buck stakes. To a certain extent, I honestly wonder how Taylor can move their lower-mid range instruments when it exists, as it's really, really good. Until you get into the grand-plus ranges, it holds it's own, and it's very "simple" looking, which wins it points from me. 

[Ted 'N' Leo]

I'm also REALLY gassing for a P90 guitar, i was in guitarguitar a while ago and played a Gibson Les Paul Junior 57, and loved it!

Those baby taylors are really nice actually, heard a guy playing one in a shop once and thought it sounded surprisingly good.

[Alex]

I would get a Flying V or Explorerstyle guitar. The brand is not so important to me, but it should be 24.75" scale. Gibson, ESP, Ran, KxK would be the first companies I'd look at.

The 400 pound mark acoustic is a hard one to choose as there are so many options. I'll have to try one of those Taylors, I've seen the ads for them. I've got a to get a decent one, my old korean fender is awful.
